   eccentric scientist

   The eccentric scientist behind the 'gold standard' COVID-19 test   
      
   Bombastic biochemist Kary Mullis invented PCR, a tool that redefined   
   genetic science, while driving in 1983. That was only the beginning.   
   ...   
   ...   
   ...   
   In his lifetime, Mullis also denied that HIV causes AIDS, questioned   
   human influence on climate change, gave talks featuring images of nude   
   women, and made sexist remarks to journalists. White still reminisces   
   about his unquestionable creativity, sharp wit, and good humor--but   
   laments how the myth took over the man. "Mullis rejected all of his   
   former friends and colleagues and just disparaged us," he says. "The   
   Nobel Prize went to his head."   
      
      
      
   Interesting how some "educated" people have trouble with evaluating   
   reality.
